Stampy Wackers Stampin Up! Demo's Meeting - Group Make & Takes

And here is a quick picture of the group make & take projects that we did at the Stampy Wackers Demo Meeting. Aren't they the cutest! I LOVE the bermuda bay and melon mambo colors together and I really like the easy slit punch treatment that this card has. Perhaps I'll do a short tutorial on how to achieve that look. It's something that I have seen around and hadn't yet tried, so I was excited to have a chance to do it (with supervision of course, lol!) The giraffe I just assembled here at home as I didn't have a chance to finish at the meeting, but it was simple to do. The "dots" are actually punched out of the summer sun layer and then placed on top of a choc chip piece... easy peasy! Thanks for stopping in!

john deere tractor from punches!

I just remembered (well, was reminded, lol) today that my nephew's birthday party is tomorrow and as usual, I didn't have a card for him yet. He's turning 2 and is in love with john deere tractors! I have seen some of these punch art tractors before (here's my inspiration from Heidi) so thought I'd try one myself! I LOVE how it turned out - so cute! For the background, I sponged on some grass and clouds... which is what that blob of scallops is - a cloud template! I just took some scrap scallops and attached them all together. Start at the top of your card and lightly sponge on ink twisting the template while working your way down, when you're all done, you have a pretty, cloudy sky - perfect for a tractor ride! The balloons are made using the 1/2 circle punch. The tractor uses the large tag and square punches.
